Theo is a work horse, he will sweep and the take
over with the mop as well. He is thin like me, and has all these
horrible demons tattooed on his skinny frame. By now I have learned that
Theo spent 25 years in jail. He happened to kill a few men when he was
young and in some gang. Nice. The dent in his head. I got this story
from him and later the owner of The Ark, also a fucking hard man
confirmed this. Theo and Pastor Greg ran together as kids, that is why
he is still allowed in The Ark.
When Theo got out of jail he came here, Greg a
former inmate here, had married the original founder of The Ark’s
daughter, years later he is the main man. So Theo is in here, he gets
drunk and drugged up, the Management Board tell him to leave. He does
not feel inclined to do so. As there are many hard men in the place the
Board gets a few, armed with baseball bats to go and convince skinny
little Theo he should go. This was a bad plan, Theo is as crazy as he
looks.
He grabbed a baseball bat from one of them, asked
them if they think he is fucking scared of them. He the breaks the bat
over his own head! Hence the big dent. After doing that, blood pouring
down his face he climbs into the hard men, one or two go down and the
rest run like hell. He chases them. Someone had the presence of mind to
call Greg. Greg calms Theo down and says he can stay. Theo and a few
others go to hospital for a bit. No wonder the Mexican Horse Thief is
left alone in this hard place! Theo decided on day one I was his best
friend. Jesus.
Should I be glad or terrified??
This is taken from the yet to be published Chronicles IV.
